Lancool PC-K56 Gaming Chassis

Roydon Cerejo, Apr 15, 2010 1645 hrs IST

A decent cabinet but falls short of expectations

Good ventilation, easy hard drive removal, easy installation, can install graphics card up to 300mm (eg.GTX480)

Provision for only two case fans, bland looks, a bit pricey, no retention clips for PCI cards

Bundle

The bundle contains the usual accessories like screws, rubber padding for the hard disk and plastic loops for cable management.

The front of the cabinet consists of a full mesh design with filters for good air circulation. There are a total of eight expansion slots in the front. You can install up to five DVD drives, and four internal 3.5" hard drives. The case comes bundled with a single 120mm fan in the front that spins at 1200rpm. There isn't any dust filter here apart from the grills.

The front panel consists of a large reset button, two USB 2.0 ports, microphone and headphone jack. There are also two LEDs; one for power and one for the hard disk activity.

The rear of the case has another bundled 120mm fan that spins at a slightly faster 1500rpm. All the installed fans have nice anti-vibration rubber insulation for the screws. Below we have two holes for water cooling. Below we have eight expansion slots for PCI cards. Beside it are plenty of grooves for discharging hot air.
